Who are we looking for?

The Global Optimizer Development Department’s (GOD) charter is to optimize crude allocation and the operations of global manufacturing facilities in order to maximize revenue, increase profitability, and capture international market opportunities. The division also acts as the LP gatekeeper for wholly owned refineries and the global MPIMS model, and maintains an integrated global planning model which is used for optimizing global crude allocation and exploration of new international markets and integration options.

The Rigorous Simulation Modeling Engineer consults on complex engineering and LP problems, and reviews existing and new rigorous simulation in order to updated or build up shift vector for Sub model in PIMS structure, also keeping rigorous simulation accuracy to conduct LP Backcasting, recommending improvements as required. This role will also have the opportunity to build a new grassroot refinery rigorous simulation, mentor and train less-senior LP engineers and process Engineers, and provide specialized technical service in recognized engineering fields.

Key Responsibilities

• Run the rigorous simulation in order to identify deviation from simulation and actual condition.
• Run the wide refinery model after SROP optimization in order to identify operational opportunity in the refiner.
• Define data and work process required to maintain and update rigorous simulation.
• Develop Non-Linear equation to reflect operational variable into the PIMS AO model.
• Keep the hybrid model for LP Engineer accurate.
• Work with process Engineer in order to guaranty accurate simulation output and debottleneck constrain to maximize refinery benefit.
• Perform “back-casting” and issue a monthly report on the Rigorous Simulation gap along with required mitigations.
• Support stakeholders in order to create new models to evaluated new project for Downstream business.
